I was introduced to Cranio Sacral Therapy by a client of my own. She was an osteopath, and I a senior beauty therapist in a local well- being clinic. She was passionate about a recent module she had completed in "cranial osteopathy" and was keen to offer me a treatment. I was a newly single parent and my youngest son had recently been diagnosed with a mild form of cerebral palsy, left sided hemi-plegia. I was willing to try anything!
I initially embarked on a family session, where she treated me and my then very young three children. There was an element of shock for all of us with the adaptations we were having to make as a new family constellation and the process of a divorce.
Tracy, my client, was able to give extraordinary information which left me feeling lighter, and with a restored sense of faith and hope. I continued with many sessions with her, enjoying the support and sense of well being each session offered me. It was a challenging time, being left with the responsibility of three children on my own. Cranio sacral therapy has enabled me to let go of many negative emotions that had surfaced after my family constellation changed. I was able to shed an old shell, finding a new me.
I decided to embark on a cranio sacral training my self and graduated in 2010. I offer treatments of biodynamic cranio sacral therapy in my home clinic and in Marlow High street .
At HelenElizabethcraniosacral, my aim is to create a peaceful and relaxing environment that people choose to come for Craniosacral Therapy. They may have acute physical problems like headaches or bad backs, or long-standing problems both physical and emotional. Others come for ongoing support in their busy lives and for help to meet life’s challenges.
Because it is so gentle and non-invasive, Craniosacral Therapy is suitable for everyone from newborns to the elderly. Mothers and babies often come for problems associated with difficult or traumatic births. Letting go of tension and fear held in the body enables both to settle into calmness.
After a session there is occasionally a short period of adjustment as part of the healing process, where you may become more aware of symptoms. Sometimes people report relief after only one or two sessions. For long-standing problems further sessions may be needed. Some people find they benefit from regular treatment over an extended period of time and say that, as well as noticing improvement in their physical or emotional symptoms, they feel that they
have more awareness of their own needs and strengths, and their quality of life has improved.
Craniosacral Therapy supports your body’s innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself, as well as helping to reduce stress and build your underlying energy. As a practitioner I can sense tensions in the body which can help to release them in a supported and comfortable way. During or after a session you may feel calm and energised, with increased clarity of mind and a feeling of well-being.
